Ingredients:

  • 1 kg crab legs
  • 6 tbsp melted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Chopped parsley (optional)
  • Lemon slices for serving

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Rinse and pat dry the crab legs, then place them on a baking tray.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together:
    melted butter + garlic + lemon juice + paprika + onion powder + black pepper + salt.
  4. Pour the butter mixture over the crab legs, making sure they’re well coated.
  5. Cover the tray with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes to brown lightly and deepen the flavor.
  7. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon slices and extra melted butter.

Serving idea:

Great with butter-lemon rice, roasted potatoes, or toasted bread to soak up the sauce.
